About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about how people stay connected across long distances or deep history, or when you want to explore the idea of 'miracles' through a lens of human kindness. It is a perfect choice for families looking to bridge the traditions of Christmas and Hanukkah, or for those navigating the complexities of historical loss with a gentle, hopeful touch. The story follows a family helping their father, a pastor, prepare a drafty old church for Christmas. When they buy an old tapestry to cover a hole in the wall, it leads to a series of incredible coincidences that reunite an elderly Jewish couple separated during the Holocaust. While it touches on the sadness of war and displacement, the primary focus is on the warmth of community and the extraordinary way life can come full circle. It is a deeply moving read for children ages 6 to 10 that emphasizes empathy and the beauty of interfaith connection.
